Chapter 0176 Vara wants to be alone, impossible things!!
Watt thorn, junger part.
Haohai Dayu and his son Mahamu listened to the news that their subordinates had just sent back in the camp tent, and their faces were gloomy!
Choros Haohai Dayu was the minister of the Walla Khan Erlebok, and in history, this Walla imperial lieutenant was mistakenly killed by Erlebok in the first year of Jianwen, and then his son Choros Mahamu was made prime minister and ruled the entire Wallaburk!
The news that the Ming army had captured Monan and began to garrison in large numbers, and the construction of the city had already arrived, although Monan was the territory of Tatars, but this was definitely not good news for them!
"Father, what does the emperor of the Ming Dynasty mean? After laying down the Western Regions, you still want to include Monan in the territory of Daming? "
Mahamu asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, building a city on the grassland is not in the interests of Daming at all, and is the city really built if you want to?"
"This requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources!"
"The Ming army should be pretentious, at best, just build a few military fortresses!"
Haohai Dayu waved his hand and calmly analyzed.
And in Haohai Dayu's opinion, even if the Ming army established a military fortress, it would not last long at all!
He didn't believe that the hundreds of thousands of Daming troops would always stay in the military fortress in Mobei, after all, the consumption of this grain and grass material was an astronomical amount!
"Aren't we doing business with Hanzhong? Or send an envoy to meet the Han King Zhu Li? At least figure out the intentions of the Ming army, how Tatar we can't manage for the time being, but Vara can't be fine! "
Mahamu spoke his mind.
"Do you really think King Han is a good talker?"
"Don't worry first, let's take a look at the movements of the Ming army for the time being!"
Haohai Dayu slowly shook his head.
It is true that they have business dealings with the Hanzhong Mansion, but in the face of the interests of the family and the country, the business is considered a fart?
Mahamu, this kid is still a little tender!
On the battlefield, their friendship with King Zhu Li of Han was a complete joke!
Not to mention, this Haohai Dayu guessed Oak's mind inseparably!
The more important reason why he chose to do business with the Varabu is that the Hanzhong Army needs a large number of war horses!
But if there is a chance to directly destroy the tile spur, how many war horses do not have?
Do you still need to do business?
At this point, Haohai Dayu sees it very thoroughly!
"Arutai has already sent several sets of messengers over, hoping that Vara can send troops to jointly fight against the Daming army, how should we respond?"
Hamam asked with some concern.
If the Asut Department is really destroyed by the Daming army, then the Tatar Department is equivalent to half of it being destroyed!
The two most powerful tribes in Tatar today are the Asut tribe of Arutai and the Yekri tribe of Gilichi!
Gilichi is the great Tatar leader, a descendant of Wokotai, Uruktemur!
In history, Ghost Lichi's Yekeli Ministry controlled Hamiwei in the early days of Yongle, and the major Ming began to trade and established relatively good relations!
It's a pity that now Hamiwei has long been beaten down by Zhu Li, and there will be nothing for them in the future!
"Don't agree for the time being, it's not clear how long the Ming army will stay in the grassland, and it will only be chaotic to send troops rashly!" Whether it is Arutai or Ghost Lichi, they can retreat to the Yuerhai, maybe the Ming army will retreat in a few months! "
"If we rashly send troops, it will only leave an excuse for Daming to attack Mobei!"
"At that time, I will really drag Vara in!"
Haohai Dayu shook his head with a straight face.
"Okay, I'll let the people of Arutai go back!"
When Mahamu heard this, he reluctantly agreed, and then walked out of the camp!
However, what everyone did not expect was that not only in Mandahan, but also in the place where the eastern and western armies of the Ming army were stationed, a large number of Ming army infantry were stationed and began to build military fortresses!
Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered Geng Bingwen to take his 150,000 imperial army to transport the materials needed to build the city deep into the grassland, obviously preparing to make a big fight!
In this way, there are as many as 300,000 infantry entering the grassland on Daming's side, and they do not need to go to the front to charge, they only need to occupy the territory and establish a city for defense!
Knowing this time, Haohai Dayu realized that the Daming army was really determined to take the entire grassland, instead of retreating after winning the battle as before!
"The Ming army actually built two military fortresses on the grassland, with a garrison of 300,000!"
"Are they crazy?"
"Where did Daming get so much grain, grass and supplies?"
When Hamammu heard the news, he said with a shocked face.
"The Daming Imperial Court may not have so much grain and materials, but King Zhu Li of Han definitely has!"
"Thousands of calculations, I didn't count the King of Han! This time, Han King Zhu Li can also be regarded as bloody! "
Haohai Dayu snorted coldly with a very ugly face.
"So what do we do now?"
"Looking at the posture of the Ming army, it is really going to directly occupy the grassland in one go!"
When Mahamu heard this, he immediately became anxious.
In fact, it was not the Haohai Dayu and Mahamu father and son who were in a hurry, the entire steppe tribe, whether it was the Vara tribes or the Tatar tribes, were all anxious after hearing the news that the Daming garrison had 300,000 troops and built six military fortresses!
If it was before, with six military fortresses and an army of 300,000, Daming's food and salary could be supplied for a few months!
After a few months, the Ming army can only retreat, and they can return to the grassland that originally belonged to them!
But now, it is not a problem for Zhu Li to be able to feed these 300,000 troops for decades!
In other words, these 300,000 troops can always be stationed on the steppe and face the tartar!
Either it's a face-to-face fight, or you'll just keep the dog out and don't come back!
Anyway, this 300,000-strong army of Daming has taken root in the grassland!
"What was the reaction between Arutai and Ghost Lichi?"
Haohai Dayu asked.
"It's not clear yet! Now there are only two ways left for the Tatar side, either fight a battle with the Ming army and fight the Ming army directly! "
"Or you can only continue to shrink!"
Hamamu explained helplessly.
"No... They have a third way to go! "
Haohai Dayu slowly shook his head, and his face became more solemn.
"Third way?"
Hamamu was even more surprised when he heard this.
"They can also choose to go west to the territory of the Watt Thorns! Or just throw yourself to Wala! "
Haohai Dayu directly said the third way of Tatar!
"That's a good thing!"
"If Arutai and Ghost Lichi are really willing to merge into Wala, it has no intention of raising Wala's strength to a higher level, and from then on only the Wala's family will be left in Mobei!"
When Hamamu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Idiot!"
"You don't want to think about it, is Ming Jun willing? They came for Tatar! "
"If Vara dares to take in Tatar, it is difficult to guarantee that the Daming army will not take the opportunity to directly mobilize troops against Vara!"
"The Tatar surrender is to provide the best excuse for Daming to attack the Watt Thorn!"
Haohai Dayu glared at Hamamu with some disappointment, his son was too one-sided in thinking about the problem, only saw the benefits, but did not foresee the risks in it, he was still too young!
"This... Probably not? "
"Although the Ming army garrisons 300,000 troops in the grassland, all of them are infantry!"
"The cavalry is only a few hundred thousand!"
"There are more than a hundred thousand cavalry of Mahamu and Ghost Lichi alone, if you add our cavalry troops of about 200,000, Daming really dares to fight?"
Hamamu's eyes widened even more when he heard this!
"I'm not sure if others dare or not, but if it's King Zhu Li of Han, he will definitely dare!"
Haohai Dayu analyzed with a gloomy face.
30,000 people directly destroyed the Eastern Chagatai and recovered the Western Regions!
The Hanzhong army has already made a name for itself in the battle of the Western Regions, and no one will and dare not doubt that the combat effectiveness of this army is far from being comparable to ordinary grassland cavalry!
Fortunately, there is no city defense in the steppe, and the sharp cannons of the Ming army are not useful, and it is troublesome to transport several people!
Even if you are an invincible frontal rush, you can still do it if you want to escape!
This is probably the only good news!
"Nope! You immediately run, let the leaders of the tribes come to the camp immediately to discuss, and must not let the men and horses of Arutai and Gilichi enter the territory of our Varabu!" "
The more Haohai Dayu thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and immediately ordered Mahamu.
Half a month later, on the shore of Hulun Lake.
Fortunately, it is almost April, and the coldest season in Mobei has passed!
Otherwise, all the Tatar tribes will shrink in this acre and three-point land, and how to survive will be a problem!
Their old habit, that is, to go south in winter, summer is to return!
It's just that this time they were scared back by the Daming army in advance!
In the camp, Arutai and Ghost Lichi were listening to the intelligence that their subordinates had just returned from reconnaissance from the south, and their faces were livid!
The Daming army has been deep into Mobei for a month and a half, and now hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the left, center, and right roads have successively penetrated into the hinterland of Mobei, pressing the space for them to move smaller and smaller!
If you go further, you will soon reach the vicinity of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and it is not much distance from Hulun Lake and Bell Lake!
What is even more infuriating is that the Daming army is not blindly pursuing, but fighting steadily, almost without bloodshed, it directly occupies a large area of desert and grassland south of Yuerhai, and also stationed a large army to build a military fortress!
This is not intended to give them a chance to make a comeback!
"Arutai, you are too reckless this time!"
"This is obviously a set given to you by Yan King Zhu Di! Daming's purpose is to destroy us directly, you will actually foolishly believe that it is just acting! "
Ghost Lichi complained to Arutai vigorously at this time.
If this kid hadn't been confused by King Yan's side, how would things have developed to this point?
"Do you think that even if I hadn't cooperated with Zhu Di, the Ming army wouldn't have attacked Tatar?"
"If they had been prepared, they would definitely think of doing everything they could, even if there was no opportunity, they would have created an opportunity to use troops on the grassland!"
Arutai snorted coldly with a livid face.
Ben Khan didn't want to hear these meaningless explanations. You are now a Tatar master, first of all, how should the current dilemma be solved? "
Ghost Lichi waved his hand and asked a little upset.
"There are only three roads in front of us now!"
"The first one, assemble the army and directly fight the Ming army head-on! The victory or defeat is not clear for the time being! "
"Second, unite with Vara to counterattack the Ming army, with the help of Walla, our chances of winning will be greater!"
"However, it is not an easy task to persuade Vara to help us deal with the Ming army, and it may cost us a certain price!"
"Maybe those small and medium-sized tribes under our control will take the opportunity to join directly over there!"
Arutai said with a gloomy face.
"How can I sound like these two paths can't work!"
"Even if Varaken sends troops, even if he really wins this battle, it is only a matter of time before Varaken wants to swallow us!"
Ghost Lichi immediately shook his head and denied these two paths!
Let him face hard steel with the Ming army now, as far as the cavalry they have in their hands, although there are hundreds of thousands, this is their last family base!
If you lose, you will lose the opportunity to turn over in a short time!
Asking for Vara's help seems to be no different from Tiger Skin!
"Then there is only a third way left!"
Arutai sighed helplessly.
"What does the third way say?"
Ghost Lichi asked.
"Wait! Wait for the Ming army to be unable to afford such a heavy supply of grain and grass, and take the initiative to withdraw from the grassland! "
"I don't believe they can stay in the grassland for the rest of their lives!"
Arutai then said the third way...
When Ghost Lichi heard this, he immediately fell silent.
It seems that all they can do right now is to continue to burn!
He thought the same as Arutai, he did not believe that the Daming army could hold out on the steppe for too long, and sooner or later it would retreat!
Waiting seems to be the safest and safest way to go!
For the tribes in Mobei to run around, Zhu Yuanzhang was not anxious at all, let alone send troops to catch up!
Run!
If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!
He also didn't have the heart to chase, after all, in this vast desert north land, even a hundred thousand troops are too small, no one will have the leisure to chase them, now he has controlled a large area of the eastern part of the desert, and stationed so many troops here, the initiative is equivalent to his hands!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, there are only two ways to wait for this gang of tartars!
Either come back and negotiate with the Ming army, or even surrender in the end, bow down and say!
Or a direct decisive battle, and they will be directly crippled and destroyed in a battle!
During this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very busy.
Not busy with anything else, but looking at the map of Mobei in front of him, thinking about how to plan these areas, where to build military fortresses, where to build cities, all waiting for him and Zhu Li to discuss the results and directly issue it!
In addition to the five areas that needed to be built by Zhu Li before, Zhu Yuanzhang also carved out six other military fortresses!
As for the grasslands around these cities and military fortresses, they can be divided among those small and medium-sized tribes that have surrendered, but the actual control, that is, the power is in the hands of the lords who guard this place!
"Old Nine! Hasn't there been movement over there in the Varabu yet? "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map of Mobei in his hand in the carriage, and asked while sketching it.
"There hasn't been any movement yet!"
"The Vara people are not stupid, they will definitely find a way to hide from the Tatars, and even prevent them from entering their own territory!"
Zhu Li said with a smile.
Once Vara dared to help the Tartar period, it undoubtedly gave the Daming army a reason to directly mobilize troops against Watt Thorn!
"If that's the case, let's not move the Varabu department?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the opposite, Vara was definitely going to fight, he believed that Lao Jiu should also have this idea!
"Father has thought too much. Vara didn't want to join in, in fact, they said it didn't count! "
"As long as the pressure on our side is strong enough, without us having to make a move, Tatar will do everything possible to make Vara submit!"
"The worst-case scenario is that the Vara and the Tatars do it first!"
Zhu Li said with a smile.
"You boy, this is the death who has already calculated both Tatar and Vara Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, and immediately laughed."
"In fact, at the beginning of this battle, the result was already doomed!"
"Whether Vara wants it or not, they can't stay out of it. There is bound to be a battle between the Ming army and the Vara army! "
"However, the children estimate that there are two most likely scenarios."
"Whether it is Vara and Tatar, it will be divided, there must be many who surrender to our Daming, and there must be some who resist with negative limits!"
"The best way is to destroy the soldiers, and it can reduce the damage of my soldiers," Zhu Li explained with a smile."
"Well, you're right!"
"We didn't expect that although the battle in Mobei would take a long time, it was obviously much easier than when we fought the Western Regions!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction...
